A climbdown on the Nuclear deal??

Today at a public meeting the prime minister of India,dr.Manmohan singh said that the nuclear deal is important to India and that he would like it to be finalised.but in the event that it did not do so,he would be disappointed,but life would go on.this is quite a climbdown for the ruling Congress party which had been gung-ho about this deal until now.
What is even more intriguing is that the position of the government had come at a time when the IAEA chief was in India.there are many rumors doing the rounds that the Congress party is just trying to placate its partners in the coalition government and that they are just bidding for time.all said and done,no where had the Congress party mentioned that they are giving up the deal.as the parliament closes for the winter,that would be a ripe time for the current government,that is the congress party to move ahead with the deal.since once the parliament shuts down,there is little that this government's coalition partners can do to enforce their point of view!there is a shady game going on over here,how it will end,we will be able to know that in a couple of months!
